The existence of K-instantons on a cylinder M^7 = R_tau x K/H over a homogeneous nearly K"ahler 6-manifold K/H requires a conformally parallel or a cocalibrated G_2-structure on M^7. The generalized anti-self-duality on M^7 implies a…

In four-dimensional gauge theory there exists a well-known correspondence between instantons and holomorphic curves, and a similar correspondence exists between certain octonionic instantons and triholomorphic curves. We prove that this…

We apply the methods recently developed for computation of type IIA disk instantons using mirror symmetry to a large class of D-branes wrapped over Lagrangian cycles of non-compact Calabi-Yau 3-folds. Along the way we clarify the notion of…

By fibering the duality between the $E_{8}\times E_{8}$ heterotic string on $T^{3}$ and M-theory on K3, we study heterotic duals of M-theory compactified on $G_{2}$ orbifolds of the form $T^{7}/\mathbb{Z}_{2}^{3}$. While the heterotic…

Let $M=P(E)$ be the complex manifold underlying the total space of the projectivization of a holomorphic vector bundle $E \to \Sigma$ over a compact complex curve $\Sigma$ of genus $\ge 2$. Building on ideas of Fujiki, we prove that $M$…

We investigate a sequence of Yang-Mills connections $A_j$ lying in vector bundles $E_j$ over non-collapsed degenerating closed Einstein 4-manifolds $(M_j, g_ j)$ with uniformly bounded Einstein constants and bounded diameters. We establish…

We classify all the $6$-dimensional unimodular Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}$ admitting a complex structure with non-zero closed $(3,0)$-form. This gives rise to $6$-dimensional compact homogeneous spaces $M=\Gamma\backslash G$, where $\Gamma$…

This is our second paper in a series to study gravitational instantons, i.e. complete hyperk\"aler 4-manifolds with faster than quadratic curvature decay. We prove two main theorems: 1.The asymptotic rate of gravitational instantons to the…

This article investigates a set of partial differential equations, the DT-instanton equations, whose solutions can be regarded as a generalization of the notion of Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections. These equations owe their name to the hope…

We construct explicit examples of quaternion-K\"ahler and hypercomplex structures on bundles over hyperK\"ahler manifolds. We study the infinitesimal symmetries of these examples and the associated Galicki-Lawson quaternion-K\"ahler moment…

We study instanton and Ulrich bundles on hypersurfaces of the projective space, with a focus on special cubic fourfolds and generalized Pfaffians, notably defined by skew-symmetric endomorphisms of Steiner bundles. We prove that the acyclic…

We investigate Yang--Mills instanton theory over four dimensional asymptotically locally flat (ALF) geometries, including gravitational instantons of this type, by exploiting the existence of a natural smooth compactification of these…

We investigate the geometry of the moduli spaces $\mathscr{M}_{\HE}^*(M^{2n})$ of Hermitian-Einstein irreducible connections on a vector bundle $E$ over a K\"ahler with torsion (KT) manifold $M^{2n}$ that admits holomorphic and…

The classification of homogeneous quaternionic manifolds has been done by Alekseevskii, Wolf et al using transitive solvable group of isometries. These manifolds are not generically symmetric, but there is a subset of quaternionic manifolds…

We study instanton bundles $E$ on $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$. We construct two different monads which are the analog of the monads for instanton bundles on $\mathbb P^3$ and on the flag threefold $F(0,1,2)$. We…

We introduce a method to construct $G_2$-instantons over compact $G_2$-manifolds arising as the twisted connected sum of a matching pair of building blocks [Kov03,KL11,CHNP12]. Our construction is based on gluing $G_2$-instantons obtained…

We study doubly-periodic instantons, i.e. instantons on the product of a 1-dimensional complex torus T with a complex line C, with quadratic curvature decay. We determine the asymptotic behaviour of these instantons, constructing new…

Yang-Mills instantons in a pure Yang-Mills theory in four Euclidean space can be promoted to particle-like topological solitons in d=4+1 dimensional space-time. When coupled to Higgs fields, they transform themselves in the Higgs phase into…

We search for an abelian description of the Yang-Mills instantons on certain eight dimensional manifolds with the special holonomies $Spin(7)$ and SU(4). By mimicing the Seiberg-Witten theory in four dimensions, we propose a set of…

We consider Lie G-valued Yang-Mills fields on the space R x G/H, where G/H is a compact nearly K"ahler six-dimensional homogeneous space, and the manifold R x G/H carries a G_2-structure. After imposing a general G-invariance condition,…
